This week we are working on our subtraction skills.  We have 3 digit numbers and subtract to find the difference.  We have made flash cards and use them every day in school. (it wouldn't hurt to have a set at home either!).  We took our first Benchmark test last week.  Parents, please look for these grades in the Graded Papers Folder that will be sent home on Thursday this week.  NO HOMEWORK on Wednesday.  It's Halloween!

During the first six weeks of school, we learned our place value chart to the hundred thousands place.  We learned to add 3 digit numbers with regrouping, rounding to the nearest 100 or 10, and probability..  We also learned how to use a "Whole/Part/Part" chart to help us with our Problem Solving.   We work daily on our Basic Facts and Problem Solving.  We are now learning to subtract with regrouping and with a "0" in the ten's place.  We will take a benchmark test  next Tuesday over all these skills.
Parents could help at home with addition and subtraction Basic Facts Flash Cards.
Please remember your parent conferences this week.

This Friday, October 5th, is PICTURE DAY.  Notices were sent home Thursday.  Picture envelopes will be sent home today (Monday), and a notice will be sent Thursday.  Your child may change into "school" clothes after the picture is taken if they want to.
We are studying the history of "Come and Take It" this week in Social Studies.  We are looking forward to a
fun week-end!
